SAYING WORDS ABOUT DRAWING WORDS

Weโ€™re two self-employed lettering artists who met by sliding into each otherโ€™s DMโ€™s.

About


Dear hand letterers, designers, and artists of all sortsโ€”despite what your grandma thinks, we know thereโ€™s a whole lot more to what you do than just โ€œdrawing pretty pictures.โ€ This podcast, hosted by Katie Johnson and Ilana Griffo of Goodtype, is about what it *really* means to be a working creative. From finding clients to pricing your work and nerding the heck out about kerning, weโ€™re covering everything that goes into building a successful and sustainable business around your passion.


And weโ€™re not just doing it alone! Weโ€™ll be tapping some of your current (and soon-to-be) favorite artists for inspiration, insight, and laughs. Weโ€™re big on giving takeaways that you can actually put into action, and weโ€™re even bigger on having a good time while we do it. Tune into the Typecast twice a month for a tittle-ating time (yep, weโ€™re gonna type-pun your face off), and donโ€™t forget to subscribe and leave a review so we can show our moms how famous we are!

Weโ€™re always looking for guests who want to help our audience of artists grow their creative careers (while sharing a few laughs, of course). Submit yourself, a friend, or a topic you want us to cover on an upcoming episode!

Want to get your brand in front of our listeners?

Weโ€™re focused on creating long-term partnerships that go beyond a quick feature during an ad break. Weโ€™re looking for brands that will stick with us, form deep relationships with our community, and help our artists take real, actionable steps towards their goals.

Because our partnership philosophy is different, our sponsor opportunities look different as well, including touch-points across all of Goodtypeโ€™s content. Interested in talking about what a partnership with us could look like? Weโ€™d love to chat.
